With Scotlands natural beauty it is no wonder that its home to some rather famous film locations. As many Bond fans will know Scotland was the key ingredient to Skyfall, the fourth Bond Film to feature Scotlands rugged terrain. Glen Coe and its outstanding landscapes is also where Bonds family heritage and routes are found. The view you get as you enter the top of Glen Coe is truly breath taking.

Bond as a child attended the prestigious Fettes College in Edinburgh.  If you are travelling through Edinburgh it’s a fantastic city with so much history to explore. The setting however for Bonds family home came from 1969 in “On her majesty’s secret service” where is comes to light that Bonds father was originally from Glen Coe.
